The Best Position For Deck And Garden Gazebos

by CoolGarden January 3, 2020 No Comments

The Best Position For Deck And Garden Gazebos – One of best ways to extend your outdoor living space is by adding a gazebo. These pretty garden structures were originally used in Victorian times to shade fashionably pale ladies from the sun. Now they’re being turned into everything from cozy eating areas to kid’s playhouses, and getaway spaces to meditate.

But why is it that some gazebos blend so naturally into the backyard like they’ve been there forever, while others look stiff, awkward and stick out like a sore thumb?

Improve Your Garden Privacy With Fencing

by CoolGarden December 30, 2019 No Comments

Fencing can improve your garden privacy and keep good neighborly relationships at the same time. Privacy is a big issue these days with social media making us more open every day, but we still want to maintain our privacy at home. While there is no guarantee that this is so, proper fencing can help improve your home privacy, security, and provide a pleasant living environment.

1. Cut off the cut through. Sometimes, especially in neighborhoods without fenced in yards, people can walk freely cutting through property lines rather than sticking to sidewalks or roadways. By fencing in your yard this makes it less accessible for those wandering by.

Pergolas, arbors, gazebos and other small structures open to the air provide pleasant places for shelter or simply to sit in and enjoy the view of your garden. They can also provide interesting and attractive focal points in the garden.

It is important to make sure all these structures are generously proportioned but not too large or grandiose for the size and style of garden you are creating, otherwise they will be overbearing and detract from the beauty of the garden itself.

Garden Decks And Steps

by CoolGarden December 26, 2019 No Comments

Garden Decks And Steps – A deck provides a perfect means of extending your house into the garden and giving you the opportunity to enjoy an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. By linking the house with the garden, your deck becomes an additional outdoor entertaining and leisure area. Ground-level and raised decks can be built to suit your site and connect with pathway, garden, carport and patio.

As decks are load-bearing and exposed to the elements, careful thought needs to be given to the selection of timber for the bearers and joists, as well as for
the decking itself.
